Summer Bucket List: Cherry Picking

My aunt and uncle have a large cherry tree so we were able to pick our own. Lily’s favourite part of the day was climbing the tree. Hope’s favourite part of the day was sampling the fresh fruit.

After giving some of our harvest to neighbours and the day camp, we still had tons left. Given that cherries spoil quickly, I decided to freeze the remainder. I needed to take the pits out first. { I used this pitter. It works very well.} Now we have tons of cherries for shakes, smoothies, and popsicles.

Over the summer, I am encouraging the girls to journal about their summer experiences, so I print out their favourite photo from the batch and they write a short description in their own words.

Mmm... sweet :)My great uncle had an orchard half of which were cherries, so this post brought memories back. As for journaling experience - I like that- and would love to try it with my kids. Thank you for sharing KJ!
